Hey, everyone. I hope you're all in good spirits today.

[The voice coming across on the network is friendly enough. Legault isn’t here to be sleazy...for the most part.]

It’s been a while since we all had that dinner to remember together, hasn't it? I’ve been thinking since then, and I’m sure you all have been as well. You’re a helpful lot like that. Here’s my question for you, then. Do you consider yourself to be a Hero of Light now? Do you feel any more heroic? Or maybe you were a hero back home? I guess I’m curious.

[And then there’s silence for a moment. Unfortunately for someone else, he starts speaking again.]

That reminds me. My roommate—her name is Mòrag. I fear she’s been a little lonely lately, and I hardly ever see her socializing. If you see her, won’t you try to befriend her? You have my gratitude in advance.

['The dinner to remember.' Even Yotsuyu has to admit, he isn't wrong. She's certainly been through much more nerve-wracking affairs with Garlemald, but there's something about the encounter with the Empress that's stuck with her.]

A "Hero of Light?" Hardly. This world may have chosen to take me in, but what I do here, I do of my own free will.

[Klonoa thinks about this for a little while. Hero of Wind... Phantomilliona... Goddess Claire... Hero of Light... Finally, he responds.]

People have been calling me things like that since I was a kid. I think they do it because they're hoping you'll be someone who helps. But, even if you're not confident in yourself... I think they don't call you that unless you really are able to help them. So, I guess it's just up to you. How much you want to try and fulfill their hopes. It's unreasonable to live up to something just because people tell you, but... it's also good to help people. Just remember, that no matter what people call you, you're you. And you get to decide who that is.

Hell no.

You won't even consider it? She's a little stiff, but she isn't all bad, you know.

[He's going to quite purposefully get which part of the message she's replying to wrong.]

You know what I meant. -a small groan.-

As for your friend, she might like Suzu. She doesn't talk at all, but she's good, peaceful company.

Nope. Nothing heroic about me, partner.

Can't really think of a heroic way to solve this problem, either.

I'm not worried about the title myself. I'm not a hero. I plan on doing as little as possible and only sticking my nose into things that interest me.

[Legault doesn't sound sorry. He's also, you know, done horrible things in his life, but Klonoa is a cute, furry kid.]

But it sounds like you can be relied on. I'll rest easier at night knowing you're hard at work, Klonoa.

I think that's the answer I would've expected from you.

[She was kind of scary around her Moogle. And Legault liked that encounter just enough to tease that fact.]

There really isn't anything heroic about being randomly selected, is there? That's what it feels like, anyways.

My mistake.

[His shit-eating grin is practically audible.]

She doesn't talk at all? I have a feeling Mòrag would appreciate that. I've heard a terrible rumor that her roommate is too talkative for her liking.

[When you're from fantasy medieval Europe, you don't text, alas.]

Really? Nothing at all?

Are you modest or just honest, I wonder.

[Sorry Legault. Chara isn't comfortable with enough of the people here, especially humans, to want to talk to them voice to voice.]

Who says I can't be both?

Really though. There's nothing really heroic about me. But I'm willing to do what we have to when we find whoever the summoner is.

It sounds like you're willing to put some effort in at least. You're willing to put yourself in harm's way to do something that might help a great number of people, slackers like myself included. I imagine that's enough for some people to call you a hero.

[His tone is light and airy, less like he's correcting or arguing and more like he's looking for thoughts, a reaction. This is casual.]

[Eesh.. blunt about it, isn't he.]

Well, I guess I'll be doing my best to help out, then. If anything useful interests you though, you should send it our way, too.

Do I look like the kind of person who would withhold information from you? I'm not that heartless. Besides, I'm stuck in this world, too. Just like you.

[That is to say he's not a Curti Center employee in case Klonoa hasn't figured that out.]

Can't imagine where anyone'd get that impression. -A mirthless chuckle.-

As for Suzu, as far as I can tell, something happened to her when she was still a cub, or whatever they call baby moogles, and that's why she doesn't speak. She can make sounds, she's not mute or anything, but if she can communicate an idea without words, that's what she'll do.

I like her.

["The answer I would've expected from you," she can't quite argue with that, can she? Yotsuyu might as well have "villain" written on her face."]

If they were expecting a hero when they selected me, they were sadly mistaken. Perhaps, if they were hoping for heroes, they should have been more thorough in those they chose. I will not abide being called a "hero" just because I happen to be here.

I feel the same way. I'm no hero myself, though I knew a few. I can't help but think they were aiming for someone else when they dragged me in.

[She's seen his face, she already knows he's Definitely Shady™.]

What are you going to do about this 'Bahamut,' then? If you don't mind me asking.

I wish I knew.

[He pauses, wondering if Mòrag really would enjoy that company or not. From what he can tell, though...]

You should keep an eye out for her yourself. I don't think she's much of a drinker, but you have at least one thing in common.

What am I going to do? Who's to say I have to do anything? This isn't my world, after all. It can burn for all that I care.

[And even if it was her world, she wouldn't bother to save it. In fact, she'd probably actively sabotage those that were trying to save it.]

[Still, there's a part of her deep down that doesn't want to see this world destroyed. A very small part, but a part that exists.]

And what do you figure that is?

I never really thought of myself as a hero, exactly...though I guess I'm more heroic now than I was before? Since I didn't really fight or anything back home.

[You gotta be strong to be a hero, right?]

It's a sad day when people are treating the likes of me as a hero.

[Never mind that he's helped saved the world on multiple occasions; Zelgadis just knows he doesn't look the part.]

Does your roommate know you are asking people about befriending her?

I guess part of me always wanted to be a hero, to surpass my father. I did it...but it wasn't as easy as I thought it'd be as a kid. Everything comes with a price, and it was a big one.

Now I guess I'm sticking with it. I don't really have a home to go back to, so I'll fight to protect the only home I've got now.

I get the feeling there's a lot more to 'being a hero' than someone just deciding to call you one.

( from the sounds of it, this guy may just have some mixed feelings on the subject. )

The title probably doesn't suit all of us, anyway.

[He remembers what Ashelia told him. f they don't fight, they don't leave. Curious.]

And if the world burns down, where will you be standing? Or does that not matter? Don't get me wrong. I don't plan on doing anything, either.
